Arlington is a somewhat small town located in the state of Tennessee. With a population of 14,396 people and three associated neighborhoods, Arlington is the 40th largest community in Tennessee. Arlington has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years. Quite often, new home construction is the result of new residents moving in who are middle class or wealthier, attracted by jobs, a healthy local economy, or other amenities as they leave nearby or far away areas for greener pastures.

Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
